Ingredient Information

Feeding Instructions

Raw Nutrition for Cats Made Scoopable

Scoopable freeze-dried Meal Bites are made with 98% humanely raised meat, organ, and bone plus functional whole foods like sardine oil and organic dandelion green for biologically appropriate nutrition. Serve as a meal, topper, or bowl booster.

When You Feed Better, They Feel Better

Cats are biologically built to thrive on meaty bones and nutrient-dense organs. Freeze-Dried Meal Bites deliver the benefits of raw feeding in a shelf-stable format—just crush, rehydrate, and serve for shinier coats, better digestion, and more energy.

The phosphorus content on a dry matter basis for this freeze-dried food for cats is about 1.7%. This value is the best representation, though, as natural variation is expected from batch to batch.

I Appreciate High Quality Ingredients-Cat is Iffy

I was very appreciative of the high quality mostly organic ingredient list!!! “5 Stars”. My package arrived intact and with no crumbs (as I had read on other reviews)

I was very appreciative of the high quality mostly organic ingredient list!!! “5 Stars”. My package arrived intact and with no crumbs (as I had read on other reviews). I have 3 senior cats but only one is allowed chicken. She showed no interest in even smelling the dry piece but once mixed in the warm water she gulped down a small portion (as I was slowly introducing into her diet). The next day she wanted nothing to do with it. The following few days she eagerly drank the liquid but didn’t touch the meal bites itself. This pattern continued continued for a month. She’s usually not a picky eater, and there doesn’t seem to be any physical distress after she has eaten (Ie. Gas, constipation, etc..). There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to why she is sporadically eating it, as the days she eats the complete portion of meal bites and liquid are exactly the same as when she only drinks liquid or nothing at all. I am giving her a break and will try again in a couple of weeks (as we still have some of the bag remaining). I would love it if we could incorporate this full-time into her diet as we only have another two months of her present food that has been discontinued and will need a good quality ingredient chicken based food for her. Fingers crossed as I feel the price is reasonable for the amount and quality received.

Love this product! I have 3 cats ages 1 and a half, 4 and 9 years old. They can be picky when it comes to trying new foods but they instantly loved this food. I really liked how easily the bag reseals to hold the freshness. We did a transition from their old food to this new food and all three cats had no tummy issues. Once I portion the food I make sure to crush the food into smaller pieces before adding the water, I found this method to work the quickest at rehydrating the food. My cats also like it dry so I’ve given them a dry piece as a treat. The ingredients are top notch, I went with the chicken option and look forward to having the cats try the other options this brand offers. I would highly recommend fellow cat parents to get this high quality food for their cats.

My cat immediately loved Meal Bites!

My cat, Fig, loves Meal Bites. He ate it it with zero hesitation. He was super excited about getting into the package, pawing at it and sniffing it while I opened it. I gave him some dry and I also softened it with water. Fig liked it either way. I also used them as cat treats, too. They're a perfect size for treats. The ingredients seem super high quality, with meat being the first ingredient. My only concern is Meal Bites is the high fat content. I like it as a food topper and for treats, though.

I’ve been using this as a treat and a meal topper for all three of our cats for the last few days and only have fantastic things to say about this food! I’m always drawn to freeze dried food and I couldn’t be happier with the ingredient list, and while I obviously won’t be eating, all of our kitties come running at the first shake of the bag. This is their first time really trying a freeze dried food and I highly recommend it, especially if any of your beasties are picky.

My 18 year old cats spent the first 17 years of their lives eating raw Smallbatch chicken. Then bird flu happened and we transitioned to canned cat food. When we tried to go back to raw Smallbatch they often vomited. The vet said it might be hard for older cats to digest raw. Back to canned food. Now they are being picky about the canned so we decided to try the freeze-dried and they heartily chowed it down. Unfortunately at $25 for 10 oz we cannot afford it to be their only food. For now it is a once in awhile treat. But if it is affordable for the budget go for it! The cats love it.

I recently tried Small Batch Freeze-Dried Chicken Cat Food for my 17-year-old cat, and it has been a huge hit! She’s incredibly picky, so finding something she genuinely enjoys is rare. Whether served dry or rehydrated with water, she devoured it every time. I’ve used it as a treat and as a topper for her regular meals, and it works perfectly in both ways. The quality of this food is excellent, and I’m thrilled with the simple, high-quality ingredients. Knowing I’m feeding her something nutritious and wholesome is a big relief. It’s great to see her so enthusiastic about eating, and I highly recommend this for any cat, especially picky seniors!

My cat vomited after I gave him this food. After waiting a few days, I tried giving it to him again, and he vomited once more. I was looking after a friend’s cat, so I tried giving it to that cat too. That one vomited as well. By the way, when I add warm water, he absolutely refuses to eat it, so I gave it to them dry/as is (without adding water).
